caliper confusion

doing a disc brake swap and need to make sure i dont have the calipers mixed up.whats the best way to tell.one way sets the bleeder slightly higher than the other but sets my hose in the wrong direction.also my new hose isnt long enough for a sharp turn . its a 74 model going on a 68 model.can you buy longer hoses or do you have to modify the set up?

The piston should go to the inside of the rotor otherwise it could hit the tire rim.
